Since MSR plumbing is still needed in the asm, what is the benefit of doing
the real mode switching in the C code?

What if the MSR is saved in the PACA before switching to real mode, and
restored in rtas_return_loc?

rfid is not more called to restore MSR.
Noob question, is there any impact of using mtmsrd instead of rfid to
restore the MSR?
